Project Update: π Early Backer Mystery Subclass Revealed & STRETCH GOALS! π
The response has been absolutely amazing. Thanks to all of you, the project is off to a great start: we funded in just about 15 minutes yesterday and are currently over 1000% of our original funding goal. π€― I am so very thankful for you all, with your help I promise to make this the absolute best it can be!
Now onto the Mystery Subclass reveal! The OATHBREAKER!
Man I'm so excited for this, I can't even tell you... Instead of being a regular subclass chosen at level 3, this is going to be a special Story Driven Subclass. A player will be able to choose this subclass at ANY point along the level curve, when the story demands it. I love the idea of someone playing an Oathsworn, and watching something terrible happen (losing a party member, BBEG tempting or backstabbing them) and the BREAKING THEIR OATH... wow, that just seems too cool.
STRETCH GOALS
Fancy Dice. We've all got plenty of dice, but do we have enough fAnCy dice? (Included for free in the Boxed Set)
Cloth Map. Who doesn't love a cloth map? Art TBD, likely of the adventure area for the starting adventure. (Included for free in the Boxed Set)
BIG Legendary Monster Cards. Full are on one side to show (and intimidate) your players. Easy to read statblock on the back for convenience. Tarot Sized. (Included for free in the Boxed Set)
More Subclasses. Let me know what you're most excited about. Spellblade? (Included for free with all tiers).
Metal Action Trackers. Honestly, you don't need these, you can use dice or just your memory, 3 isn't that hard to count to. But having a hefty metal physical thing to interact with... mmm something about that...Β (Included for free in the Boxed Set)
Holofoil Cards. Shiny. Need I say any more?Β (Included for free in the Boxed Set)
Bigger Adventure. Up to level 4? Level 5? A sandbox style choose your own adventure?Β (Included for free with all tiers).

Project Update: π Unlocked New Stretch Goals! Shadowreaver & Stormshifter preview, EU shipping.
We're closing in on the final days of the campaign!
We've knocked out yet another stretch goal! Not only do we have the Oathbreaker & Spellblade subclasses, but BIG legendary monster cards, an upgraded adventure, we're working on VTT support, we've got an upgraded GM screen now too!
Next up: at 180k a martial Shadowmancer subclass the SHADOWREAVER. And would you just look at that art. π₯ This is another story based subclass that asks the question "what happens when a Shadowmancer is cast aside by their patron?" I'm super excited about this one!
On the horizon, if we can crack 200k I'll be able to upgrade the book for everyone. Both the softcover and hardcover ones. For the softcover backers, instead of a stablebound zine-style book I'd like to upgrade to a sewn perfect-bound spine (BIG upgrade over staples). And for the hardcovers, increasing the quality overall, exploring better/fancier materials, gold/silver foil stamping, Bookmark Ribbon(s).
After that, I'm exploring options of making an easy online character builder, possibly a Beastmaster Hunter subclass, upgrading the adventure to level 5 (or even level 6), more legendary monsters & monster cards. Lots of cool options if we can get there :D

Thank you all for the fantastic support!
We've been getting some really positive battle reports from people in the Nimble discord server from people using the preview packet. If you have any questions or battle reports of your own join us on our discord server!
Any chance to get an app/site with dynamic character sheets?
Can we print book PDFs anytime soon? Maybe after funding happens? I backed the box set. I've already sold this game to my RPG group. We wanna play this nooooooow! :-)
Nimble Crew - After reading over your initial Nimble version I'm very excited to use your rules; at the risk of "gushing" I think your ruleset is something that D&D should/could have developed (read: evolved) into had it's current designers not been under corporate overlord supervision. At risk of political lash-back, I assert that D&D cannot actually evolve into it's very best version while being at the end of eternal monetizing leash. This will only occur through Indy designers like yourselves. Your ruleset seems to bring a needed cool smoothness to an old treasured woodgrain long hidden under a lack of finish work and exposure to cooperate weather. Ok, that was gushing, I apologize. To the practical: Will a PDF of Nimble "Revised" version one be available at end of project funding? I would very much like to use the core Nimble rules (much) sooner than later! :-) - Vince
